**Pakistan to conduct more tests of latest missiles: Dr Samar **

ISLAMABAD: National Engineering and Scientific Commission (NESCOM ) Chairman and renowned scientist Dr Samar Mobarakmand said Saturday that Pakistan has become the third country of the world to prepare the latest missile technology after the successful test of Babar Cruise Missile.

Talking to Geo News after a ceremony here, the nuclear scientist said Pakistan will conduct latest missiles tests before long, adding, “Pakistan is not at par with USA; however, it is far ahead of its neighbour, as we possess far superior technology across Asia.”

**Dr Samar Mobarakmand said the production of Shaheen Missile has begun and it has been handed over to Pakistan Army.

Five years ago, we had only six nuclear scientists; but, now their number has crossed ten thousand, he added. **
